25. Mycobacteriosis in the compromised host
The studies of rare genetic defects, the preliminary results of population-based studies, being validated by the experimental immunocompromised animal models and the current observations accumulated in immunocompromised patients with mycobacterial diseases provide us with insights into the importance of the macrophage activation pathway in controlling human

26. A glandula parotida na AIDS : analise de 100 casos de autopsia / Autopsy findings in the parotid glands of 100 Brazilian patients with aids
This study describes the alterations found in the parotid glands of 100 patients who died of AIDS and of 15 who died for other reasons. Sialadenitis occurred in the parotid of 13,34% cases of the control group, and in 35% cases of the AIDS group. Ten cases of mycobacteriosis, three of cryptococosis, two of histoplasmosis, nine of citomegalovirusis, six lymph

27. Mycobacteriosis due to Mycobacterium genavense in six pet birds.
Six cases of mycobacteriosis due to Mycobacterium genavense in three budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus), one orange-winged amazon (Amazona amazonica), one flycatcher (Cyanoptila cyanomelana), and one zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) are discussed. Gross lesions associated with the infection included a high degree of muscular wasting (five cases), hepatom

28. Inflammatory Responses in Blood Samples of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Patients with Pulmonary Infections
We analyzed the characteristics of the inflammatory response occurring in blood during pulmonary infections in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients. A prospective study of consecutive hospital admissions of HIV-infected patients with new-onset radiologic pulmonary infiltrates was carried out in a tertiary university hospital from April 1998 t

29. Serum Agglutinins in Disease Caused by Mycobacterium intracellulare
Serum from each of five persons with pulmonary mycobacteriosis due to Mycobacterium intracellulare contained agglutinins specific for the serotype of the causative organism. The findings suggest that the direct agglutination test may prove useful in diagnostic mycobacteriology.

30. Misleading Results from Bone Marrows Cultured for Mycobacteria
Re-evaluation of a previous study dealing with atypical mycobacteria grown from specimens of bone marrow provided strong evidence that the isolates were of no clinical significance. Bone marrow culture should not be undertaken as a diagnostic test for pulmonary atypical mycobacteriosis.

31. Mycobacteriosis in Atlantic salmon farmed in British Columbia
Mycobacterium chelonae was identified as the cause of incidental mortality in Atlantic salmon smolts following introduction to seacages. Source of infection was not confirmed. Polymerase chain reaction was a useful method of detecting and speciating the genus Mycobacterium in infected stocks. Clinical management and public health implications of infection ar

32. Granulomatous bone marrow inflammation during treatment of chronic myeloid leukaemia with interferon alpha-2b.
A patient with chronic myeloid leukaemia developed bone marrow granulomas during treatment with interferon alpha-2b. Some granulomas had necrotic centres and giant cells and there was marked eosinophilia surrounding them. The granulomas disappeared when the interferon treatment was discontinued. Mycobacteriosis was ruled out. The most likely explanation for

33. The diagnostic yield of acid-fast-bacillus smear-positive sputum specimens.
The yield of mycobacterial culture from acid-fast-bacillus smear-positive sputum specimens was 387 or 439 (88.2%). Forty-nine of 52 culture-negative specimens came from patients on treatment. We conclude that the yield of culture from smear-positive sputum specimens is very high and that only two acid-fast-bacillus smear-positive specimens are needed for the

34. Pulmonary Infection Caused by an Unusual, Slowly Growing Nontuberculous Mycobacterium
Mycobacterium triplex, a recently described slowly growing nontuberculous mycobacterium, was isolated from a Finnish patient with pulmonary mycobacteriosis. The disease was successfully treated with antimycobacterial drugs. The strain isolated, which was similar to the type strain but differed slightly from the species description, was regarded as a variant

35. Sensitivity to avian purified protein derivative in cattle from farms having a high prevalence of swine mycobacteriosis.
On two farms in North Georgia a large percentage of the swine was infected with organisms of the Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare-scrofulaceum complex. The hypothesis that the cattle on these farms, which are maintained separately from the swine, would not be sensitive to avian purified protein derivative was rejected. It was concluded that the source of t

36. Influence of pork consumption on human infection with Mycobacterium avian-intracellulare.
The hypothesis that eating pork from animals infected with organisms of the Mycobacterium avium-intracellular complex is a significant cause of human mycobacteriosis was examined by skin testing students with purified protein derivative from M. intracellulare to determine their sensitivity to M. avium-intracellulare. No significant differences in sensitivity
